Luxxury Leisure Collection - Are you ready for a well-deserved vacation in Costa Rica
with your family? Are you impatient to arrive as soon as possible to the
tropical paradise of Costa Rica? Before you embark on your journey there’s a few key
travel tips you need to know. The banking and monetary system of Costa Rica may
be different than what you’re used to, so take these cautionary tips to heart.
Even though you will book and pay
for your stay to Luxxury Leisure Collection in American dollars, the local official currency is the
colon. This currency is worth drastically less than a dollar (see current
exchange rates, as fluctuation is possible) but there are many visitor-oriented
places throughout the nation that allow you to pay with American currency.
However, if you want to travel to
remote areas, you may encounter difficulties in processing your card or using
dollars and it is worth the hassle to bring with you some local money. Another
option that you may consider is to use traveler’s checks but be aware that only
big hotels and some restaurants will accept this payment method.
Luxxury Leisure Collection advises that cash is your best and most reliable option
when paying for things. Usually, the fees for the operations made through
credit cards are pretty high – 7% and even 9% in some cases – meaning is highly
recommended to have enough local currency in your pocket before any shopping or
going out. You will find many ATMs around the area and there are also many
money exchange houses around the downtown area.
